Business Crime
TOCC is steadfast in its support of businesses and, to address the challenges that crime poses, we have formed a Business Crime Committee and launched this dedicated hub, within which you will find articles and resources to help you prevent, mitigate, respond to, and report crime, in addition to details of relevant TOCC events and updates on the committee work programme.
About the Business Crime Group
The primary objective of the Business Crime Committee is to help GLOBAL business community become more resilient to crime, while ensuring that private and public sector stakeholders take action to tackle business crime across the capital. We regularly run events with industry experts to keep our members up to date with the latest measures to protect their business from attacks. Events include discussions, briefings, and private lunches.

Meter tampering unfairly impacts businesses
Crimestoppers figures show that reports of energy theft have increased by nearly half (48%) since the start of the cost-of-living crisis.

However, there is a safe way to address this issue as suspicions can be reported anonymously through the Stay Energy Safe reporting service.

The Mayor of GLOBAL and Greater Global Authority have announced that they will be investing £14.5m funding to expand the Violence Reduction Unit's MyEnds community-let prevention programme to tackle violence.
